MasukGAVINI think I made a mistake. My mistake was staying quiet for so long. But again, gathering more evidence against Janelle was also part of the plan. Reagan and I have been up to something. We wanted full proof for everything Janelle did and what she's been up to.We couldn't attack without a plan. There's that.But recently, it looks like Janelle is out of control.She's not off the hook after orchestrating the destruction of Demi's store. I had promised to make a statement in the evening, and I just did. The story is not dying any time soon, but I'm glad I cleared the air. I know there are still some unanswered questions, but that's just it. The questions never end. That's how it goes. You clarify one thing, and it leads to more inquiries.To me, the most important thing is to clear those annoying rumors about Demi.After my statement, I drive to Reagan's house, where I find her watching the trending video smiling. He's in his living room and I assume he's watched it a million tim
DEMI“Well, well,” Gavin begins. “Isn't my relationship the most popular in the world right now?” Mother and I sandwich Leon, finding comfortable positions to watch his phone's screen, even though we can just turn on the TV. I assume that would take time.“There have been a lot of speculations, especially about my love, Demi Perez.”“Ooow,” Leon gushes at the same time my cheeks heat up. He used the word love again.“Shut up, Leon,” I swat his hand and then we proceed to listen to Gavin's statement.“Most of you like to call her my mistress, and I'm starting to think there have been misunderstandings about the real meaning of mistress. What I know about that word is, if I were married and then started seeing Demi at the same time, then that would make her my mistress. But, as we all know, I'm not married. There are no certificates to prove my marriage to anyone, which means Demi has never been my mistress.”“Wise man,” Leon whispers, and I hadn't realized just how wide I have been sm
DEMIIt's 4pm and the picture of Gavin pecking my cheek is still the talk of town. Although I didn't want the public drama, my heart still melts every time I recall the exact moment when he called me the queen of his heart.Gavin Morgan stood in front of the camera, pecked my cheeks and called me that.Yes, it's real. I can't count the number of times I've caught myself smiling. The butterflies in my stomach haven't had a chance to disappear. I mean, how can they, when I'm still fluttered from the incident that happened hours ago?Gavin catches me on the millionth episode of smiling to myself when he walks into my office. Although I pretend to be busy, I know that he's not an idiot. He sees right through me. He locks the door and leans against it, crossing his hands in front of his chest.“What has gotten you smiling like that?” He asks.“Nothing,” I pretend to put on a serious face, shifting my eyes to the computer to type nothing.“Uh, huh,” he drawls, now approaching my side of the
DEMIGavin looks so hot when he's talking business and protecting me at the same time. To add on that, he puts Ernest in his place in so many funny ways.I should be laughing out loud, but here I am, worrying a lot.Ernest was so sure about Gavin hating me. It doesn't make sense for him to go through all this just to make Laila happy. Again, the analogy I had earlier comes rushing in. There is something bigger.“Remember Janelle said her plan was still on. And then Laila had implied the same thing,” I reason with Gavin, who only gives me brief glances since his main focus is on the road.I do most of the talking, probably because he figured things out already. It doesn't come as a shock. My boyfriend likes to be a step ahead.“Do you know the strangest part? You had threatened Laila's job before. She knows messing with me will definitely get her fired. But this morning….”“Did she do anything to you?” He cuts me off with a concerned face. “No, she didn't, but…according to her tone, s
GAVINHayes Real Estates had rejected my proposal a few days ago. I wanted to be a shareholder, and then give it to Demi as a surprise. I know she'd love that, since she's into the Real Estates field.But that didn't go well. The investigations have been on, but no one, except Reagan knows the details of it.I thought making Demi one of the bosses would be a good revenge, but they made it impossible. Now we're going to sue them, and the future of Hayes Real Estates will be in Demi's hands.I owe Reagan a lot, for the evidence I've got which proves Demi's innocence.I smile at the table, while over half of the people in the room have their eyes widened at me in shock. Ernest is seated next to me. He taps my shoulder and leans closer to whisper in my ear.“What is this?” He asks.“Are you deaf or something? I told you, you're going to love the outcome,” I remind him, knowing just how much he hates this situation.“Mr. Morgan, there must have been a mistake somewhere,” says the old man,
DEMIA little headsup would have been nice. This is not the kind of surprise one expects from their boyfriend. I frown after the words leave Gavin's lips.“I was going to tell you. But I didn't want to have you worked up,” says Gavin. A soft laugh escapes my lips. “You were going to tell me? This is literally an ambush, Gavin. You said it yourself, Ernest will be here soon. So, when exactly were you going to tell me?” I ask.“Demi..”“No,” I cut him short. “As a matter of fact, I was the one who asked. Which only means, if I didn't ask, I would have been ambushed like that.”I sigh, and then storm out of the office, ignoring every call of my name. I shut my eyes and take in long breaths when I settle in my office.It doesn't take a while before Gavin follows me.“Hey,” he walks over to the side of the desk where I'm seated, and then crouches, right after spinning my chair so I'm facing him.“I'm sorry,” he says, taking my hand. “I just didn't want you to worry, and instead, I wronged
